Truly so wonderful to learn about John the Baptist. Thank you Fr Chris🙏
Praying St John the Baptist for all those imprisoned for telling the truth such as Julian Assange
My mom died on June 24th back in 2020 which I thought was ironic because she always reminded me of him. Big mouth that loves Jesus lol
I watched all your talks more than once. Most of them I watched few times. Which I’m really thankful for “recordings.” 😊 watching This one again.
I just ordered a snap bracelet so I can bring my binge listening to a new level lol

Thank you Father Chris for another amazing talk! And I thank you for this advance talk about Saint John which supposedly for next Saturday. I go to daily Holy Mass and I always ask Saint John the Baptist and Saint John Apostle aside from Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph to pray for me before I receive the Holy Eucharist with great love and devotion. I work graveyard shift at the hospital and last night we were not that busy and went to the washroom and prayed to Saint John and I kept saying, "Help me decrease so God may increase" several times and ask him for the conversion of sinners that all may turn to God. Anyways,
I love Saint John the Baptist, I feel that this holy saint wants me to know him closer. I was about to start tomorrow to pray the 100 Requiems for the Holy Souls in purgatory for Nine consecutive days asking for their intercession for my special request and I totally forgot this great saint's feast day is coming up soon until I watch your Saturday talk. I feel I am called to pray the Novena to him and it is a great timing too cuz if I start it today the novena ends on the ninth day which is his Feast Day and the next day on the 6/25/24 that's when I have an appoinment with Habitat for Humanity whether I get approved or not for a home program. So Father Chris thank you so much for this, you are a gift to the church. Please pray for me and to all you brothers and sisters of Christ keep me in your prayer. Most Sacred Heartnof Jesus, thy holy will be done. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we love you, save souls. Saint John the Baptist, pray for us. Saint John the Apostle, pray for us.🙏✝️❤️🥰⚘️
good luck on your appointment
@@markjohnson1520 Thank you brother in Christ...pray for me. God be with you. Deo Gratias!🙏✝️❤️
May God bless you always. Your testimony of your strong faith is an inspiration to us. All my prayers are with you.
Interesting, thank you for sharing
Good Afternoon Father Alar and Blessings to you and all those you love. Im so happy you did this talk on St John the Baptist. My parents are from a little town up in the high mountains of Jalisco Mexico called San Juan de la Montana. And of course the patron saint of that town is St John the Baptist. His day is first started with a nine day Novena and following 9 days later with a June 24th HUGE celebration starting with Mass and later other celebrations throughout the whole day. and interestingly, for past years it will start to rain on that day after a dry spell. He Is really is loved dearly by everyone.
Here's fun fact, in our Mexican/Hispanic culture for example, Virgin Mary would have been St John"s auntie because she and Elizabeth were cousins. So the children of my first cousins become my nieces and nephews. 🥰
Amazingly Beautiful and very interesting 🙏🕊

Thanks for the great information. In my Italian culture most close adults are aunts and uncles also. It’s a sign of love and respect. God bless you.
Same. I call my cousins children nephew and they call me uncle
THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH Father Chris Alar. I am so, so thankful for your talks and I must confess that I enjoyed more when you give the talks more that the other participants, you, Father Chris and Father and Father Donald Calloway are heart felt talks. Deo gratias. God bless you all. God bless and protect all His faithful Priests.
Amen 🙏
Thank you FATHER CHRIS and GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FANILY AMEN!

Thank you Father Chris for this talk about St. John The Baptist. I’ve learned (as usual with your talks) a lot that I didn’t know. I’m so grateful for your time explaining our Faith. God be bless you always. 🙏🏼😇🙏🏼
Even when I think oh I already know about the subject of a talk, Fr Chris always throws in a twist of new information. God bless him.

Thank you for joining us and God bless you
Thank you Fr Chris and all the Marian fathers for explaining the faith
I enjoyed this talk on John the Baptist. When you got to the part about explaining the meaning of Halifax I had to laugh simply because being a Canadian it was the first one that came to mind. Fr. Chris I kept your dad in my prayers while I was sitting inside the church that I attend. I hope that he's doing a lot better, but I won't stop praying for him as well as your mom and as well as you. God bless you Fr. Chris now and always.
God bless you Tara. 🙏🏻😇❤️There is a tiny town of Halifax in Massachusetts also.
Thank you and God bless
Thank you Father Chris!
This is so beautiful talk ❤ thank you for sharing Fr. 😊
Thank you Fr. Chris Alar on this Saturday Series, on St. John the Baptist. I wanted to know more about the Saint, I think he heard my request.I oftentimes invoke St. John the Baptist's help as I present to the Foot of the Cross the conversion of sinners with the Blessed Mother of the Sorrowful Heart.Thank you Jesus.
Thank you Fr Chris god 🙏 bless all marian fathers ❤
Hello Fr. you are always sooo awesome!! Thank you for your Witness!! ❤️🙏
Thank you Father Chris. May God keep you teaching the flock.
Thank u 🙏 Father . I have learned a lot about John the Baptist I didn’t know. I am blessed to have found this church livestream . Father ,apart from some people not baptizing their children , a lot no longer have children like before or some choose not to have children. It’s very sad . We need the church to grow
Yes
God bless St. John the Baptist! ♥♥♥Thank you Fr. Chris Alar for this video and all your hard work. ♥✨🕍🌹🙏
Thanks for listening
Thank you for yet another eye opening topic. Grateful for tirelessly educating us on all aspects of our Catholic faith that most of us grew up not knowing or being taught. You have enlightened and deepened my faith through each of your talks and homilies. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better Catholic. Happy and blessed Father’s Day, Fr. Chris 😇🙏🏼✝️
Happy Fathers Day to all the Marians! Gid Bless you always.😊❤🙏🏻
Thank you Fr Chris for teaching us about Saint-Jean-Baptiste, our patron saint here in Quebec Canada. June 24th is a big feastday here, no body works, and we celebrate a lot. But it is now more about our culture than about the person of St-John. Décades ago there used to be big parades organised in every town, with a spécial tribute given to St-Jean Baptiste who was personified by a Young boy with blond and curly hair, dressed with a sheepskin, with a lamb by his side. But sadly, we do not think about the great saint we have as our patron anymore, …. we just celebrate ourselves, québécois…..
Today, Saturday June 16th of 2024 a day before fathers' day in the USA. I am from Honduras where we celebrate fathers day March 19th which is San Jose Feast.
JONATHAN CAHN IS A MESSIANIC JEW. He knows so much about the transition of Jews to catholics. I have read all his books and they are next to my BIBLE. I learned so much about my FAITH from his teachings/revelations of the O T that he knows so well. AND HE UNDERSTANDS SO MUCH OF THE WHYS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.
PRAISE GOD❤🙏❤️
Thanks for the info 🙏🏼❤️✝️
i'm listening to your talks Father on my way to work. They are so inspiring! Thank you Father Chris. May God bless you.
Glad you are with us!
Thank you Father Chris!❤
Thank you for this beautiful talk Father.
Thank you Fr Chris 🙏 ❤️
Saint John The Baptist, Pray For Us. Amen 🙏❤️🙏
WOW! I AM BLOWN AWAY!! PRAISE GOD!!!
St John The Baptist Pray for Me and all my Family❤
Father Chris please clip the prayer so that we can add it to our daily prayer playlist🙏🏻
June 29 talk. God bless
Thank you Father Chris and all Marian’s
Happy Father’s Day ♥️♥️♥️
This is a great talk. I cannot wrap my mind around just how brutal people can be. I can't imagine having someone beheaded. It's unconscionable to me. August 29 happens to be my birthday. Interesting how it's the same day as the beheading of St. John the Baptist and Fr. Chris's parents wedding anniversary, too. God bless! ✝️ 📿 💒 🙏 🥀h❤
Greetings father Alar,
I pray st. John after the final blessing of the priest, I attending Traditional latin mass, so we pray the st.john the Baptist prayers. Thanks & God blessed all.
I been praying using st John the Baptist daily. This is great. - he must increase so we may decrease
As usual Father Chris, this talk was a winner. There was lots of interesting information, including the parallels between the message of the Conception of St John the Baptist and the Conception of Jesus, by St Gabriel. Also, the explanation of metaphor of light decreasing from the time of his birth, and increasing after the birth of Our Lord. The most important lesson for me and some thing I had never heard of before was the concept of “soul ties.” I have heard Fr Ripperger speak of deliverance prayers but I never quite fully understood the concept. Now I do. Yes I would love to know more about generational healing. I did look online and he has a great one and I’m sure I will find more. In just two days and two different talks you have really given me plenty of homework for which I’m grateful . May God bless and protect you and your family. Sending prayers for all of you. Thank you for this enlightening teaching today. There’s never a dull moment as long as the Marians are teaching. I just ordered a couple of snap bracelets one for me and one for a gift.
I love St. John! Thank for this indepth talk so that others may grow in knowledge and devotion to such a great saint!
Thanks for listening
I always love to listen to your talk Fr. Chris because it’s long, easy to understand and I’m learning in one way or another ❣️🙏 May the Lord bless the works of your hands Fr. Chris and MIC priests🙏❣️❤️🩹

I knew about the feast of John the Baptist. My name was given in celebration of the John the Baptist . In Poland we celebrate the day of our name. Polish version of John is Jan for a man and Janina for a woman. 06/24
Thank you, God bless! Watching the replays fr Philippines...
I entered AA 1 day after this feast day in 1995.
God bless you may your recovery be fruitful. Prayers for your recovery
Bless John and you🎉
Thank you father Chris! God bless you always.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️

🙏
Thank you Father Chris🙏🏼❤️✝️. Happy Father’s Day 🙏🏼. I love you❤
I love this priest, I learn so much from him, it makes it easy to learn and leaves you wanting more
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
How very inspirational presentation. I loved learning a the little and great things about St. John the Baptist. So many new things. Thank you.
I love the comparison you made about John the Baptist/summer Solstice and light lessoning and Jesus/winter Solstice and light increasing! It was something I never heard before. It was awesome!
Father Chris is such a gifted priest and he uses all of his gifts to give glory to God
Also remember the Annunciation, March 25, at around the time of the spring equinox, when day and night are about equal.
@@michaelhaywood8262 great point Fr Chris gets us all thinking
Thank you Father Alar❤❤❤
Father Chris I am from Damascus Syria and I am Catholic the head and the relics of John the Baptist are in Damascus Syria at the so called the Omayad Mosque well the Ottoman Empire transferred it to Mosque of course it used to be a great church.
However when the Turkish workers tried to dig the place where John the Baptist was buried blood started to come out like a river non stop and it reached out side the mosque by many miles and had no control over that so they called on Muslims sheiks whom weren’t able to stop the blood from flooding neither.
until they called the orthodox priests in Damascus they came in and they prayed and then the river of blood stopped and so they kept it there they won’t dare to do anything to it. Even Muslims asks for the intercession of St John .
St John the Baptist pray for us 🙏🏻
Very interesting, thank you for sharing and God bless
@@DivineMercy_Official your are very welcome the head of John the Baptist and the relics are still buried in at the Omayad Mosque until today and the place still gets a lot of pilgrims from all over the world Christian’s and Muslims … etc.
Another great teaching Father!
I’m still blown away by the summer and winter solstice reference and explanation between St. John the Baptist and Christ! I never knew that or even looked at it that way! I’ll be bringing these teachings to my Confirmation class students for sure!
Happy Father’s Day Father Chris!👍🏼🙏
Thank you for sharing and God bless you
Happy Father's day Fr. Chris Alar & all the Marian Priest around the world. Best spiritual fathers of all who guides all of us jn these complex modern times.😊
Thanks for this talk. I have always had difficulty meditating on the luminous mysteries. This talk on John helps!
Dear Marian Family and the Marian Fathers. Thank you for praying for South Africa-which I asked for several times in the live chat. The election results i.e. which parties would join in a coalition alliance has been an anti-communist and pro growth alliance which includes all the people of our multi-racial country. May God be praised and glorified. A heartfelt THANK YOU.
Yes
Thank you for generously giving us an interesting topic on St. John the Baptist, Fr. Chris. We really need to hear his voice again to sound in our ears so as to bring us to repentance. We must listen well, repent and change to save our souls. Our daily examination of conscience is always important and a big step in striving for holiness in life. Repeating the words of St. John: “ He must increase; I must decrease.” Humbly, we open the tabernacle of our hearts for Jesus to reign that His light may shine on others.
Nice Icon of Saint John the Baptist Father. A loving Saint of whom I have his Icon in my house. His loud scream in the desert asking for repentance is very significant.
Father Alar, the Patron Saint of the Province of Quebec is St. John the Baptist. Celebrations were very religious until around the 1960´s. There was a tremendous falling away of the faith. What was the most Catholic place in all of North America did a 360 degree turnaround and today only 2% practice. While it is still a National Holiday, it is more a drinking festival than anything else. Music concerts but hardly anyone recognizes the great Saint. We turn to St John the Baptist to revive the faith in the people of Quebec! God Bless you and your parents!
Amen! I live in Quebec and seeing this beautiful feast day of St John the baptist being celebrated in an evil way breaks my heart. Please pray for Quebec and all of Canada that we return to God and welcome God’s moral laws back into this beautiful country that was once very Christian🙏
Yes

Fr Chris, grateful for your sapiensa
Wonderful 🙏❤️
HAPPY FATHER DAY TO MY FATHER IN HEAVEN
🙏❤️🔥🙏🙌🙌🙌 THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR 🙏❤️🔥🙏
Father Chris Alar thank you for your insight and inspiration in details for John the Baptist: His Real Role
Happy Father's Day. God bless you always.
Thank you Fr. Chris for a beautiful talk! I am not sure if you know this but Msgr. Rossetti with the St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal has an online session each month. May God Bless you and all the Marians! Happy Father's Day and praying for your father's quick recovery. So grateful to have found a priest who is so honest and teaching the faith.
I'm coming to the church and beginning catechism in September. My wife and I want our son baptized. Will I need to be confirmed before having my son baptized?
Praise God. God bless you for bringing your son for his baptism. I can’t answer your other question, but I’m sure a priest will. So many parents may think it’s too late because they think about baptism is something that happens in. Infancy. God bless you and hopefully you are an example to other parents in the same situation. It’s never too late to renew our Faith.
@alwaysmisskaryn I'm converting from the Baptist tradition. My wife and I were baptized, but Baptists do not baptize children. They have to reach the age of accountability and make a profession of faith first. The Lord gave me a tremendous grace to realize my errors. "It were better for him, that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should scandalize one of these little ones."
No... but it's a wonderful act of grace 😇
Happy father's day father Chris could I please have the prayers thankyou
